Select participants and date
The sun tilts low and the canyon clamps its shadows into long, geometric fingers. You pedal toward the rim on a quietly humming e-bike, the trail crunching under tires as the horizon ignites: mesas flare orange, the Colorado River threads silver far below, and Dead Horse Point stretches like a carved amphitheater daring you to stay until dark.

Adventure Tips
Charge the battery beforehand
Confirm your e-bike is fully charged and bring a backup battery if offered—battery range limits how far you can explore before sunset.
Bring 1–2 liters of water
Desert air dries you quickly; hydrate before the ride and carry water for the full 3‑hour tour.
Layer up for cooling temps
Evenings in the canyon drop fast—pack a windbreaker or light fleece to stay comfortable after sunset.
Watch for loose sandstone
Ride with controlled speed on slab and loose sections; choose lines the guide recommends to avoid slips.
